We are delighted to announce that in February 2018 we secured the prestigious GolfMark and Clubmark Awards offered by England Golf and Sport England.

Over the last 6 months the Club has been working extremely hard to ensure the necessary structures were put in place.

For GolfMark accreditation the Club had to demonstrate achivement of distinct standards and progress in the areas of:

Recruitment and Retention - driving to attract new members and increased participation

Management and Sustainability - involving practical business planning

Coaching and Competition - enhancing opportunities for all golfers

Safeguarding - ensuring appropriate policies and procedures are in place to create a safe and welcoming environment

GolfMark is an ongoing Planning and Monitoring mechanism helping clubs to continually develop.

At 12 and 24 months the Club will submit an updated Action Plan plus Benchmarking Data and every 3 years will need to submit comprehensive evidence to show it remains on track.

Clubmark was introduced by Sport England to assist in the drive for greater participation in sport and focuses upon higher standards of welfare, equality, coaching and management. Clubmark sits alongside GolfMark accreditation.
